The South and Protection.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald says that the impress
sion is getting abroad in that city that
the protective policy is going to have such
strong following at an early day in the
Southern States that 1t may break up the
solid South. The usually well informed
Herald correspondent must have been
talking with a louisiana Republican or
one OF Senator Joseph Browns followers.
II there is any stronger sentiment in the
South in favor of the protective policy
now than there was few years ago. or
il the sentiment in favor of this policy is
growing, it is not easy to discover the fact.
There is one newspaper in this State
that has changed from an advocate of
tariff reform to a proteotionist organ
within the last year or two; but, with
that exception, no prominent Southern
journal has changed it's position on the
tariff lately.
The Southern people are strongly in
favor of tariff reduction, and if vote
were taken on the tariff question to-mor-
row they would sustain the position of
Messrs. Morrison and Carlisle by an over
whelming majority.
The presidents OF the largest cotton fac
tories in this state have more than'on ce
publicly stated that they favor tariff re-
duction, ana it is probable that the most
OF the iron manufacturers Of Alabama and
Tennessee are tariff reformers rather than
proteotionists. II they can manufacture
iron so much cheaper than 1t can be m an
ufactured in Pennsylvania 1t is 10 their
in terest to have the duty on IL reduced.
II they cannot now the time is not distant
awhen they will manufacture iron as
|eheaply az 1t can be produced anywherein
the world. They have no interest, therefore,
In having tariff that enables Pennsyl-
vanla to compete with them and limit
their production.
The South is mainly an agricultural
country, and the farmers, almost to
man, are tariff rsformers. II the Herald
man thinks differently let him take a trip
through the South and he will be con-
WINGED that the talk about the protective
policy dividing the South is without

Victor HugO's Poetic Plea,


The story Is told that Victor Hugo concern
ing himself on behalf of one condemned
called on King LOUIS Philippe to intercede
for the Unfortunate man. 1t was a second
compassionate effort of the poets, but the
hour was late and the monarch, being now
retired 10 bed, could not be seen. Not to be
wholly baked of his purpose, Hugo left a
plea, in suddenly imDrovIsed verse. on the
table, to meet the Kings eye in the morning.
There had been recent death in the royal
family of an idOlzed daughter, and a birth,
too, as well. OF these incidents the poet
avaIled himself in his quatrain, which, very
closely rendered, runs as follows:
by your lost angel. dove-like from you flown,
By this sweet royal babe, far, fragile reed.
Mercy once more! Be mercy. mercy shown
In the tOmb's name, and cradles both,
plead"
The poets plea availed.

that he had been robbed Of $26.24O, the

The Guardisn's Commercial Article.
MANCHESTER, August A.-The
Guardian in its commercial article
says: Although tho market has pref
ssnted q generally firm appearance.
the tore has been fat. Producers
hoped that the stronger condition Of
cotton on Monday would stimulate
buying, but their expectations were
not fulfilled, and the demand has been
slow. The reason for this is evident I;
buyers have found that despite the
8 ort crops of cotton in the past two or
'hree years the supply Of cloth has sl-
ways been sufficient, and that efforts
to rsies prices on tfe strength OF re.
ports of insuf ficlent crops have usually
proved Q failure. Tney are, therefore,
indif posed to take fright at reports OF
q email crop In the United States in
view of the accounts received earlier
Ia the reason, which reported the
largest acreage ever known and Q
rarely equsil.d favorable season. The
market is more than ever depen lent
upon the condition Of the distributing
centers. Yarn is generally quiet. Ex-
porters have placed fSw oAers. The
b me demand is poor. suyers are
increasing in caution. OIoth is gen.
orally stesdy. The inquiry for Iudis
